I keep seeing 545 Steptronics being tested by magazines because the competition only offer auto's. Anyone see a 545 SMG 0-60 test in a magazine?

Probably nobody is testing them yet, because they don't know how to drive with SMG.

Since I haven't heard much complaining about SMG lately, I can enjoy your comment.

You know, pennetta, I find that running in Sport at high rpms is a pretty swift shift and with absolutely none of the stress from fear of missing the slot. A stick can be embarrassing, too, if you are going for third in a speed shift and hit fifth.
